Chapter 124: Chapter 124

Adam pretended not to understand the implication behind Oswin’s words and declined. "I thank Your Majesty for your profound favor. But this one is merely a minor Inkwood official. What world-shocking talent could I possibly possess?"

"Your Majesty is currently in need of capable people. I pray Your Majesty seeks out true talents."

"Throughout my life, this one has never had grand ambitions. I only wish to grow old alone in this Inkwood Academy."

Hearing the rejection in Adam’s words, a flash of anxiety appeared in Oswin’s eyes. Unable to sit still any longer, he laid his cards on the table.

"Brother Adam, do you know how bitterly you have hidden this from me?!"

"That day, when We saw that person’s silhouette, I felt it was exceptionally familiar. After pondering bitterly these past few days, I finally figured out who that person was!"

Although Oswin did not explicitly state the identity, Adam already understood his meaning. It seemed Oswin had recognized his secret identity.

"Your Majesty, this one does not know what you are talking about. This one is merely an idle cloud and a wild crane. I only wish to spend the rest of my days in the Inkwood Academy and have no desire to meddle in worldly affairs."

Even knowing that Oswin was asking for his help, Adam still resolutely refused.

He did not want to participate in this conflict.

Although with his strength, if he was willing to help, Oswin could very likely shake off his status as a puppet, doing so would mean Adam could kiss any hope of a peaceful life goodbye.

However, Adam was not an entirely heartless person, while no one was paying attention, he silently injected a strand of Divine Soul into Oswin’s body.

Over these past few days, with no one around in the Inkwood Academy, he had been cultivating diligently, and his cultivation had grown significantly stronger.

Although what he injected was just a single strand, given his current strength, which was invincible throughout the Silver Willow dynasty, even one strand contained terrifying might.

Across the entirety of the Silver Willow dynasty, the Mortal Supremes who could withstand it could be counted on one hand.

This was the absolute limit of what Adam could do. Having this strand of divine soul was enough to guarantee Oswin’s life.

As for anything beyond that, he was unwilling to interfere excessively and could only let nature take its course.

Hearing the firm rejection in Adam’s tone, Oswin knew he could not force the issue.

The matter was settled, and he could only drop it and leave helplessly.

Silver Willow Imperial Palace, nighttime, the Imperial Study.

The South-Subduing King sat on the Dragon Throne, reviewing memorials. Listening to the eunuch beside him report on Oswin’s itinerary for the day, he could not help but frown.

"You said Oswin specifically went to the Inkwood Academy today to meet an official named Adam? You think there is something bizarre about this Inkwood official?"

The eunuch giving the report was the same one who had reprimanded Oswin earlier that day. He was a pawn placed beside Oswin by the South-Subduing King, tasked with monitoring his every word and action.

Today, although Oswin was the ruler of the Silver Willow dynasty on paper, actual control of the empire had always remained firmly in the hands of the South-Subduing King.

Eunuch Flint pondered for a moment before continuing. "Your Highness, do you still remember that Mortal Supreme who saved Oswin’s life that day?"

"Are you saying...?!"

"Exactly, I suspect that this person is none other than that Inkwood official named Adam."

"What? You’re saying that mysterious Mortal Supreme is an official in the Inkwood Academy named Adam?!"

A trace of solemnity flashed in the South-Subduing King’s eyes, he did not expect to hear such earth-shattering news today.

The South-Subduing King was extremely wary of that mysterious supreme expert who had intervened to save Oswin, knowing full well how powerful he was.

That eunuch of the Silver Willow Imperial Family was an Entering the Dao existence.

Before the Heaven and Earth Upheaval drew its curtain, the second step of the Mortal Supreme realm, Entering the Dao, was enough to rank among the top ten experts of Silver Willow.

For this mysterious expert to easily kill such an existence meant his strength was already unfathomable.

Not to mention, since the Heaven and Earth Upheaval began, countless opportunities had emerged.

Who knew to what terrifying extent his strength had grown?

The reason he chose to merely make Oswin a puppet rather than eliminating him directly was, aside from the profound foundation of the Southern aristocratic clans backing Oswin, largely due to this mysterious Mortal Supreme.

"You dog, do you realize the gravity of this matter?! You cannot spout nonsense about this."

"I will ask you one more time, are you absolutely certain that the mysterious Mortal Supreme is that Inkwood official named Adam?!"

Eunuch Flint’s expression flickered.

After a long while, he gritted his teeth. "Your Highness, I have followed you since childhood. If there is even half a word of a lie, I am willing to guarantee it with my head."

Hearing Eunuch Flint swear such a heavy oath, the doubts in the South-Subduing King’s eyes vanished instantly.

Eunuch Flint, kneeling before him, had been his study companion since childhood and was his absolute confidant.

It was precisely because of this immense trust that he handed him the crucial task of monitoring Oswin’s every move.

He knew Eunuch Flint extremely well, since he dared to swear on his own head, he naturally had absolute certainty.

Otherwise, given the Prince’s ruthless temperament, if the facts did not align, he would definitely claim that head.

Eunuch Flint had known him since childhood and was naturally familiar with him. It was impossible for him not to know the Prince was not someone who let old sentiments sway his decisions.

Therefore, he did not believe Eunuch Flint had the guts to deceive him, he must be absolutely certain that the Inkwood official named Adam was indeed the mysterious Mortal Supreme who saved Oswin months ago.

The South-Subduing King instantly felt this matter was exceptionally thorny.

If Oswin could truly win this person’s assistance, he feared it would be a massive problem.

"Are you truly certain that Adam is unwilling to help Oswin and only wants to spend the rest of his days in the Inkwood Academy?!"
